Comcast Launches First Public US Trial of DNSSEC 100
cryan7755 and netbuzz both sent along a NetworkWorld story on Comcast's public test deployment of DNSSEC. Here is the company's blog post announcing the trial.
"Comcast this morning announced what is believed to be the first public test deployment of DNS Security Extensions. The company says it has deployed DNSSEC throughout its nationwide network and will immediately make validating servers available to customers. In addition, Comcast said it would digitally sign all of its own domain names using DNSSEC by early next year. 'There is often talk about a chicken-and-egg sort of problem with DNSSEC. People don’t want to sign their own domains with DNSSEC until people are validating signatures,' says Jason Livingood, Executive Director of Internet Systems Engineering at Comcast. 'We want to explain how we as an ISP have a roadmap for validating signatures with DNSSEC.'"

However, I can confirm I tried it again about 10 seconds ago and got: ;; ->>HEADER- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: .......

Dammit Chris, it's bad enough that your company is doing good things for the Internet like early IPv6 and DNSSEC adoption. Now you have the gall to come onto my Slashdot with your polite and informative answers. It's really starting to threaten my rage-induced perception of Comcast as World's Most Evil Cable Company and that's not something I'll give up without a fight!
